On March 17 of the seventh year of the Yong calendar, the Southern Ming army commanded by Sun Kewang, the King of Southern Ming Qin, and the Manchu army of the Qing Dynasty general Tun Qi engaged the Manchu army at Zhoujiapu in Baoqing, Hunan, which was known as the Battle of Zhoujiapu (Zhoujiapu Battle), in which Sun Kewang's Southern Ming army was defeated and forced to return to Baoqing.
Qing army.
Tunqi said in his post-war report that "li Dingguo, the puppet king of Anxi, the puppet state, and Ma Jinzhong, the puppet state, led more than 40,000 horse infantry thieves." To Yongzhou. The ministers and others were xi'an province soldiers, and Ke Yongsheng, the commander-in-chief of the viceroy, stationed in Hengzhou. The army marched towards Yongzhou on 13 February. On the twenty-eighth day, arrived in Yongzhou. Li Dingguo has gone away. The dragon and tiger are gone. It was also heard that the pseudo-Qin king Sun Kewang personally led thieves to Jingzhou. The pseudo-general Feng Shuangli led more than 20,000 thieves to Wugang Prefecture. On the sixth day of March, the army marched from Yongzhou to Baoqing. Fifteenth, catch the letter of the mouth. Feng Shuangli, Bai Wenxuan, Ma Jinzhong, led more than 40,000 thieves, and camped at Zhoujiapo, thirty miles away from the fork in the road. Sun Ke is expected to be in Baoqing. Our army settled at a fork in the road. The next day, we marched forward and saw the thieves camp at the top of the mountain. The stronghold is quite dangerous. It rains at dusk and is inconvenient to attack. The array met, and at night, Sun Kewang led the whole army from Baoqing and joined forces with Feng Shuangli and other troops. On the seventeenth day, the thieves crowded 100,000 people, descended the mountain and surrounded the formation, and entered our army. Our army divided its troops and fought hard. Kill a lot. More than 700 horses were obtained, one pair of elephants, and no weapons were counted. ”
At the battle of the fork in the road, Sun Kewang was defeated miserably.
The report gave a lot of information: first the Ming army camped at Zhoujiapu (Po), while the Qing army camped at the fork in the road. When Sun Kewang's troops came to the aid of Baoqing, Bai Wenxuan, Ma Jinzhong, Feng Shuangli and others had already camped in Zhoujiapu, and the Ming army camp was relatively high, and due to heavy rain, the two armies confronted each other for two days before fierce fighting broke out. Of course, the most important message in this report is "Twenty-eighth day, arrive in Yongzhou." Li Dingguo has gone away. The dragon and tiger are gone. "Li Dingguo ran.
Li Dingguo's main force is strong.
After Li Dingguo killed Nikan at the Battle of Hengzhou, he found that Feng Shuangli, Ma Jinzhong and other Ming troops had retreated and had to retreat to Shaoyang. On November 23, the Qing army conquered Hengzhou, and the Ming general was defeated and killed. According to Wang Fuzhi's Records of the Eternal Calendar, it is not long before "it is expected that Chi Chi will summon dingguo back to the Wugang Conference." Three days and nights, seven books, Dingguo had to go west", Liu Wenxiu sent people to report the letter, Sun Kewang ordered, if Li Dingguo came, immediately accept and kill him, Li Dingguo was horrified, so dulonghuguan left, Sun Kewang sent people to pursue but could not get it, had to give up, some other late Ming and early Qing historical materials also have similar records: "There has been a defeat of Hengzhou; it is expected that the envoys will be summoned and will be killed with their defeat." "All in all, it was Sun Kewang who wanted to kill Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo was terrified, led the army away, and then Sun Kewang suffered a big loss in the battle of the fork in the road (Zhoujiapu).
Li Dingguo in the comic strip.
Sun and Li's contradictions arose when Lianming resisted the Qing Dynasty, and Sun Kewang himself did not want Lianming, and Li Dingguo argued with him, and finally he actually stabbed himself with a knife, forcing Sun to have to join forces. Judging from the performance of the back, Sun Kewang has always had his own ambition to be emperor, of course, he will not hide, nor does he have the need to hide his ambition, since the beginning of the Yong calendar, Sun Kewang has been aggressive" And the thief Fang Yu Xuan can be expected to be even more so, and set the ritual system for it. Li TaiMiao, enjoy Taizu Gao Emperor Lord Yu Zhong, Zhang Xianzhong lord on the left, and right can be expected grandfather lord also. It is proposed to change the name of the country to "Hou Ming", and to seek zen position day and night", "Ming Ji NanLuo". Li Dingguo was very disgusted by this, and in the second year of the Yong calendar, there was an incident at the training ground, and Sun Kewang beat him fiercely under the pretext that Li Dingguo was not respectful, and although the two people were superficially reconciled, they had actually gradually separated from Germany.
Therefore, with the gradual development of the situation, Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo gradually changed from the original righteous brotherly relationship to the relationship between Nanmu Masamune and Ashikaga Zunshi, and as Li Dingguo's "Zun Emperor Faction" became stronger and stronger in the war against the Qing, Sun Kewang naturally felt that he was obstructive, and at the same time, the princes of the Yongli Imperial Court were not willing to lie flat with the emperor as salted fish, and also actively co-opted Li Dingguo and the "shogunate general" Sun Kewang to fight, with the intention of restoring the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. When I checked the information a few days ago, I saw that some people accused Li Dingguo of colluding with the officials and masters of the Yongli Imperial Court, and the biggest person responsible for several infighting was Li Dingguo.
The Yongli Imperial Court was never able to recognize its own position.
In fact, as long as you think about it carefully, you will find that these parties have responsibilities, the Yongli Imperial Court can't recognize its own status, and the Ming Dynasty Court is at ease to learn from the Japanese emperors and secretaries next door to be a god. When the country gradually stabilized, the Qing court was squeezed out of Shanhaiguan, and at that time, how to fight and how to fight. Li Dingguo's responsibility also lies in his failure to recognize the status of the mascot of the Yongli Imperial Court, and he had to tear his face for the illusory "orthodoxy" of this mascot and his brother.
Lord Sun Guo must pay the price for his actions.
Sun Kewang's responsibility is the greatest, because his strength is the strongest, his strength is strong, and his responsibility is naturally heavy. At that time, he wanted to be emperor, which was very normal, but the problem was that the method was too impatient, and at the same time failed to eliminate the Yongli court. Killing the "loyal subjects of the Ming Dynasty" did not achieve a single one without killing, completely loyal to the Zhu Ming Dynasty, nor did it kill all, completely purging the entire imperial court and completely holding the emperor in his own hands, just imagine, if he forcibly brought the emperor to Guiyang, or directly controlled Kunming and other places, "Where I am, the emperor will be there!" "Even if Li Dingguo has great ability, what else can he do?" By the time the Central Plains recovered, even after occupying the remnants of this territory and making peace with the Qing court, his prestige had already reached its peak, and at that time, did he not want to be the emperor at that time?
The civil war waged by Sun Kewang was unpopular.
In the end, he launched an unpopular civil war, and as a result, more than 100,000 horses and horses collapsed under the attack of more than 30,000 people of Li Dingguo, which showed the unpopularity of Sun Guo before the civil war was launched. If he could completely eliminate the Qing court, even if it was only to disintegrate the Qing court's power in the south, then the prestige he had accumulated would be enough, and the resistance to the elimination of the Yongli court would certainly be much smaller at that time.
